Solutions Hub

In response to the question of "How do we find solutions?", we have categorized and listed some solutions hubs. This will also act as a beta version of a future Solutions Hub website, although if this scrappy version works, we don't actually need to.

Evidence Clearing Houses or 'What Works' Hubs

Campbell Collaboration

https://www.campbellcollaboration.org/

This an evidence-based clearing house that consolidates of systematic reviews so as to understand what works. It focuses on broader social domains and was inspired by the Cochrane Collaboration that focuses on health and medical care.

You can click on their link to evidence portals to find other sites classified by domains like disability, education, social welfare etc.

What Works Network

Set up by the UK Government to help them improve the creation, sharing and use of evidence for public services. Made up of separate 'What Works Centres' focusing on ageing, children, homelessness etc.
